digitalcommunitarian: I laugh and/or get a little hostile when I come across Tumblr profiles in which the author has laid out some iteration of the following disclaimer: Sorry, but I don’t automatically follow people back. If I like your Tumblr, I will follow you. Well… This is Tumblr, not Studio 54. No…

So here's the problem as I see it.

This is my new favorite song. For today. It reminds me of my friend Justin. He’s a doctor. That should scare you.

I always felt a certain bond with Eartha on this one. In a very masculine way, of course.

A Conversation at a Party in NYC

Interested Man: So, you live in Maine?
Me: Yes
Interested Man: On purpose?
Me: I suppose you could say that.
Interested Man: Where in Maine do you live?
Me: Portland
Interested Man: Oh, Portland, the Paris of Maine.
Me: We do serve escargot in several places.
Interested Man: Isn't Portland in a valley covered by fog?
Me: No, it's by the ocean. It's a port. I think that's how it got its name. Maybe.
Interested Man: What's that thing you're holding?
Me: It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Like an iPad. Except better.
Interested Man: Can you use it in Maine? Do they have, like, the Internet there?
Me: Yes. Electricity and phones too. Most days.
Intersted Man: Well, you don't look like you're from Maine.
Me: Ummmm, thanks?
Interested Man: Wait, is that a squirrel playing the drums on your shirt?
Me: Why yes, it is.
Interested Man: I'll be you got that in Maine.
Me: No, I got it at Barneys (laughing).
Interested Man: Whatever. Do they recycle there?
Me: In Maine or at Barneys? I'm pretty sure they recycle at Barneys.
Interested Man: (frustrated) No, in Maine.
Me: Yes, when we have electricity. We're pretty green.
Interested Man: Oh, how boring.
Me: (thinking to myself) As opposed to this conversation?

This makes me think of Sunday morning and “She’s Having a Baby.” Both good things (and the video is hysterically 80’s).

I love a good rebrand Love this new rebrand video that thelab, NYC did for Comedy Central. I admit a bias as I am a fan of thelab but I think this is great stuff. And why do people freak out so much when a brand changes its look? I mean … calm down and give yourself a few minutes to adjust for God’s sake. Change is good people …
